You're in a local so I don't know what to say.
However, with NPC sororities, most women know 6-8 weeks ahead of time when initiation is.
The chapter must register the initiation date ahead of time and have it APPROVED by their International Headquarters, so it takes some planning to have it all set up.
I would talk to someone again in your chapter and find out.
You don't give the reasons WHY you will be out of town.
If it is something like a funeral or a wedding, I think that is understandable. If it is something like you're going to visit your best friend at another college, I don't know how favorably that would be looked upon.
Initiation is considered very important, so I would talk to your sorority's officers and try to resolve the problem, or try to change your plans (if possible). Good luck to you!
